Class_News.png
We have class news each day after recess. On your news day, it's your turn to share something with your group in a 2 minute talk, then answer any questions from your group. You might be given a topic to talk about or you may like to bring something in to share to remind you of what to say.

Click here to find out what day is your news day.



News Rubric



Here is our News Rubric. It shows us the characteristics of good speakers. During your 2 minute talk, a peer will mark you on how you are going with the characteristics of good speakers.

Listening Rubric

During news groups you also have an important job to do when it is not your news day. Being a good listener is just as important as being a good speaker.

Here is our Listening Rubric. It shows us the characteristics of good listeners. During news groups, a peer will mark you on how you are going with the good listening characteristics.
